Torres in danger

on September 9, 2011 None comments

Hot news are coming from Premier League. Chelsea’s coach, Andre Villas Boas, made ​​a statement that shocked the fans. He wants to get rid of Fernando Torres. El Nino has only two games to prove that he deserves his place in the team, after he was one of the most expensive transfer just a few moths ago.

Villas-Boas said that he would not endanger the success of the team for just one player: “I have no problem in selling players. You must insist, but you cannot put in danger the team goals in order to obtain the things you want. When you compromise the smooth running of a team your place is in danger. I have no favorite striker. I make my decisions after what I see in the training sessions.”

Drogba’s absence from the next two matches gives Torres his chance to regain the trust of Boas in him. Chelsea paid 57 million euro for a striker that managed to score a single goal in 21 matches.

This position could affect player’s ability to concentrate to his game, a fact that could make his departure even more possible. In any case, Torres has no worries because there are a lot of teams that could use his qualities.

Neymar has only 19 years and his plans regarding his career are big. He refused to go to Real this summer, although he was wanted by the Galactics. The offer from Real Madrid for him was around 45million euro, but he preferred to stay at Santos for a little bit longer.

“I feel that is not the right moment to leave, I want to be near my family and friends. I feel honored by Real’s offer, but for now, my family is the most important to me and I want to stay close to them.” said Neymar who recently become dad.

Waiting for the right moment could bring him even more money but with the condition to keep the same shape in game, as there seems that Barcelona is interested in the player.

Put in the instance of choosing between Real and Barcelona Neymar said: “It’s hard to say, you make me choose between Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi, but I want  to play with both on the same team. I do not know how, but we would make a fantastic team.”

Latest rumors say that signed with Barcelona and will play for them starting with the next season. True or false, only time will tell, but what we know for sure is that he is the key player for Santos in this season.

on September 7, 2011 None comments

In Primera Division, the war is not only between teams. If you look closer, the main actors are the coaches, each with a hunger for good results and as much trophies as possible. The eternal war between Murinho and Guardiola is on a point where, Barca’s coach could have the edge.

Vicente Del Bosque is about to leave from the Spain national team after his contract will expire after Euro 2012. The technician does not know whether to accept or reject a proposed extension given by the Spanish football federation. Del Bosque would like to go, considering that the period of four years as coach that will end in 2012 is sufficient for his career.

The main favorite to take his place is Barcelona’s coach, Pep Guardiola. Spanish federation president Angel Maria Villar has compiled a list of some names, and Guardiola is his first choice. Barcelona coach would accept the proposal. He knows well the national team and most of the players, a thing that would make an easy task to reach Madrid.

Vicente Del Bosque is in his 60, trains the Spain national since 2008 and has had experience as principal at Real Madrid and in Turkey, at Besiktas. Last summer, he refused negotiations with Chelsea and AC Milan to continue as coach for Spain national.

Anji back in business

on September 6, 2011 None comments

Starting as one of the biggest spenders in the latest moths, the Russians from Anji wanted to strike once more time. After they convinced Eto’o to go to Dagestan on a salary of 20 million euros per season, the billionaires from Anji were close in sealing another deal with a top player from Europe.

The player I am talking about is the Brazilian Hulk from FC Porto, who could have reach to Russia for 87 million euro, but the negotiations stopped just before the end of the transfer window.

“They were advanced talks with Porto, but we didn’t reach to an agreement with them. Many were talking about different sums of money, but the rumors that appeared have no connection with what is actually happening on the market.” explained the bosses from Anji.

According to several sources of media, Anji‘s last offer was of 87 million, but the information wasn’t confirmed by the Russian club leaders. Hulk has a 100 million euros termination clause stipulated in his contract, probably, the main reason for the negotiations blockage.

Who will be their next target?

At the moment of speaking, the football is build around two players: Messi from Barcelona and Cristiano Ronaldo from Real Madrid. The rivalry between those two was present in any challenge, from the best player to the best scorer. But time have changed and one of them admits that the other one is better.

“Messi has his personality, I have my personality. He has a certain style of play, I have another.  I play for a big club, he does it too. We are different in too many ways. At this point, he is the best.” said Cristiano Ronaldo.

But the battle is not over yet. Real Madrid is prepared for a year that would bring them all the trophies, at least that’s what they hope.

Ronaldo continued: “Real Madrid is the best club in the world and because of that there is a lot of envy! However, I feel that this will be a big year for all of us. There is no point in talkingabout what happened last year in the Champions League semifinals. We were removed unjustly, but we must live with it.”

This battle can only be a joyful moment, because in this way we know that we’ll have a quality football for obtaining the supreme title for a player: best player of the year!
